Week #8 Current Event Group 5

Students depend on their teachers to guide them to learn.  Teachers design comprehensive lessons plans, using the teaching tools available, but besides the responsibility to teach students, teachers also have to keep records of each student’s attendance, class work, assignments, merits, disciplines, grades and progress.  Teachers also need to prepare reports and communicate this information with the school administration, faculty, and parents.  Having the right administrative and classroom management system is vital to help teachers keep accurate records and prepare reports without taking away their valuable teaching time.
                                         
SchoolFront is a web based school and classroom management software designed to allow administrators, teachers, and other school staff to record and process students’ and teachers’ information.   Government reports, report cards, transcripts, and more can be easily compiled and completed.  The classroom management features help teachers with attendance, grades, report cards, transcripts and even classroom seating.  A Parent and Student portal opens communication and allows parents and students to view class work, assignments, grades, reports and school activities and even submit homework and other files.

SchoolFront was developed by FrontEdge, Inc., a company that specializes in web-based software and created by directly involving students, parents, teachers and school administrators.    Their system is highly secure and private and their commitment is to keep their system upgraded and enhanced to meet the changing needs of our schools.  You can learn more about SchoolFront  by visiting their website:  www.schoolfront.com/overview.aspx
